How To Get 6 Extra Hour Out of Every Day

Description: Komisar explains that there are different types of entrepreneurs for various stages in a company using an analogy from his book, The Monk and the Riddle. Early stage entrepreneurs, like a bloodhound, seek out resources to get the company off the ground. To grow the company, an operation leader is needed, like a husky that is willing to pull the sled and get the company to a public market liquidity. If the company ever faces difficult situations, a rescuer, like a St. Bernard, tries to save it.

Just across this short speech of Randy Komisar – Partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. I think he has made some clear points on Entrepreneur, entrepreneurship. What do you think?

Different Entrepreneurs Excel in Various Company Stages

“In the real world, there are more ‘good’ deals than there is money. However, there is much, much more money than ‘great’ deals”.

Interesting debate at Creative and Cultural Policy class this week. What is education?

Was born in a difficult time of Vietnam when the war has just finished, I grew up in a countryside area in the centre region of Vietnam, a place with its famous severe weather and poor conditions. My parents worked very hard to make sure four of us able to join schools. We took schools as duty, as proud of family and as it was the only one way we could do to brighten our future. Question of “what is Education” would never been asked in Vietnam because Education is as naturally part of your life schedule except you do not have condition to go to school. You might not believe this fact but “Bill Gates” phenomenon is rarely happened in Vietnam until you have a strong family background with enough supports. I have been experienced Vietnamese old education system in my time, new education system (a bit new I think) thru my nieces and nephews and European education system which is completely different. There is always advantages and disadvantages in each system, however, they are all benefitable if we know how to enhance the best side of each system. Read more »
